Maclean presents a post-truth dystopia, where the world is turned on its head, leaving the characters untethered to any sense of right and wrong. The film is presented on loop, so that the narrative – and the character’s rise and fall – appear as an unending cycle.
The film was commissioned by Alchemy Film and Arts, in partnership with Talbot Rice Gallery and the University of Edinburgh for Scotland+Venice. Spite Your Face was restaged at seven other venues in the UK and overseas between 2017 and 2019.
